July Polaroids

I am steadily getting through my last supply of 600 film which expired in August 2009. These images were taken in Laugharne at Ginst Point, which is a vast deserted beach. Our house is on the hill overlooking this amazing landscape and we rarely see more than a couple of other people walking their dogs here.

This beach has also yielded some amazing finds including huge pieces of driftwood, shells, and strange flotsam and jetsom. More recently a sheeps jawbone and a large birds skull as well as a huge piece of rope and a sea-worn piece of timber sleeper which I hope to make into a bench. The last large piece of driftwood I found would not fit in the car however, and resulted in the smashing of the windscreen as I tried to slam the boot down to make it fit in!

This amazing lily grows outside the door to my studio, the scent is incredible and it brightens my day.
